bad since 1861.
| am especially pleased ID with the
Presidents firm and consistent adhe-

GOVERNOR LEE.
Dear Sir,-I approve of President
Cleveland's Administration, because 1t
is broad and non-partisan, and recog-
nizcs that this is a union Of coequd
States, without reference to their
geographical limits or political com
pleXions, and every section OF a com
mon country is represented in it. For
the first time since the days OF Mr..
Buchanan organizations from the
southern portion of the country took
part in the ceremonies incident to his
installation in Office, marking an era in
the reunion Of the States and showing
their interest once more IN the CXecu-
tive branch of the Government Yes,
approve the present administration Of
affairs because / believe the President
is conscicntiously cndeavoring TO dis
charge the duties Of his high Office for
the sole benefit of the whole country,

SENATOR DANIEL.
Iear Sir,-l think President Cleye-
land has given the country an excellent
administration honest, courageous,
aud non-scctional. In my opinion,
however. it would have been bettcrei
Lad he given the official positions more
literally to Democrats aud kept in few
Cr Republicans. This would have been
light in itself, and was what the coun-
thy expected. Very respectfully,
joins W. DANIEL.
